Public Affairs Video News MagazinenEpisode #365 of “Media Edge” (May 5-7):nn"Sleepless in Gaza...and Jerusalem" (26 minutes)nDay 60: If you are in the door of your house, you are in the West Bank. A step outside the door, you are in Jerusalem; an illegal infiltrator that will be arrested! Join Ashira in Anata where Sami, his family and his house are West Bankers by the decision of Israel and by the same decision the only entrance to their home is in Jerusalem. They are legal as long as they remain at home and don't take a step outside. See how often Sami and his kid who is neither a West Banker nor a Jerusalemite and holds no ID infiltrate Jerusalem during this film. Down the road, Ashira gets a white rose from a kid who shows you how the Wall of Separation has stolen their land and check out the contrast between Shufat Refugee Camp on one hill and Besgat Ze'ev Settlement on another. Do you need an embroidered purse? Muneera's purses could be what you are looking for -- if you are in Gaza. Meet the hearing and speech impaired 17-year-old Muneera who gets $100 a month for her embroidery. Muneera teaches you some basic sign language: Mother, Father, Brothers & Tree. Now you are set. When we get to Al Mustaqbal Association (The Future) we discover that Muneera is a teacher of embroidery.nn"Peak Moment" (27 minutes)n“We are revitalizing an ancient form of transportation … using just the power of the wind and the tides … to move goods and people,” says skipper Fulvio Casali. In their CSA (community supported agriculture), the Salish Sea Trading Cooperative uses nearly no petroleum to transport organic produce and other goods from the north Olympic Peninsula to northwest Seattle. By sea they use community volunteer sailboats, and by land an electric delivery truck. Come on board with cofounders Casali, Kathy Pelish, and Alex Tokar, who are patiently redeveloping the skills and infrastructure for the return of “a whole fleet of sailboats blanketing Puget Sound” in the post-petroleum era.nn"PSR 8th Annual Dinner: Dr. Victor Sidel" (48 minutes)nDr. Victor Sidel was the keynote speaker at the 8th Annual Dinner of the Sacramento Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility on October 2, 2011. The title of his presentation was "PSR: Fifty Years of Concern for the Devastating Health Consequences of War". Dr. Sidel inspired the 170 people who attended the event as he spoke about the health effects of war, his work for nuclear disarmament, and the 50-year history of Physicians of Social Responsibility. He encouraged everyone to continue their work for peace and justice.nn"SHADA" (3.5 minutes)nA photographic journey with Haiti's Forgotten Children by Sacramento area photographer and activist Leisa Faulkner.nn"Other Voices" (7.5 minutes)nAlternative voices emerge in Israel and Palestine that bypass hatred and engage in direct peace-making activities -- like rebuilding a demolished Palestinian home in a refugee camp.
